Climate Change: The Earth has been warming ever since the end of the Little
Ice Age. But guess what: Researchers say mankind is to blame for that, too.

As we've noted, 2008 has been a year of records for cold and snowfall and may
indeed be the coldest year of the 21st century thus far. In the U.S., the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration registered 63 local snowfall
records and 115 lowest-ever temperatures for the month of October.

According to the publication Daily Tech, in the past 1,000 years, three
previous such events — what are called the Dalton, Maunder and Sporer Minimums —
have all led to rapid cooling. One was large enough to be called the Little Ice
Age (1500-1750).

The Little Ice Age has been a problem for global warmers because it serves as
a reminder of how the earth warms and cools naturally over time. It had to be
ignored in the calculations that produced the infamous and since-discredited
hockey stick graph that showed a sharp rise in warming alleged to be caused by
man.
